James E. Lindell is Senior Vice President Emeritus at MWH, now part of Stantec. He is the former Chief Hydraulic Engineer at Harza Engineering and Editor in Chief of the seventh edition of Handbook of Hydraulics. He was formerly a member of the Civil Engineering faculty at the University of Notre Dame and has been a visiting lecturer at the university of Illinois at Chicago and Northwestern University.

Wade P. Moore is a Senior Hydraulic Engineer at Stantec. He specializes in the application of advanced techniques, including the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), to the analysis and design of hydraulic structures. He made significant contributions to the seventh edition of Handbook of Hydraulics. 

Horace w. King (deceased) was the author of the original edition of Handbook of Hydraulics, published in 1918 and was also Professor of Hydraulics at the University of Michigan.
